sirona-art:missgraciemae:dichotomous-me:plasticstrawsmuggler: lunarcentric: westposting: Cuba sucks because you can’t just murder people This really how Cuban expats are huh? In all seriousness though, look at the last sentence. “Thankfully I live here now and can speak my mind without the need to do what they did”. My mom lived in the Czech Republic(Then Czechoslovakia) when the soviets had control over it. The border had a kilometer wide no man’s land filled with land mines, the border guards were told to shoot anyone trying to escape, there were German shepherd’s protecting the border as well.People were forced to vote, and your vote was not secret. My great grandfather didn’t go to vote one time and they brought the ballot box into his kitchen and watched him vote. One of the men had a gun. You aren’t going to vote against them when your life is being threatened. People just disappeared for not becoming communist. My mom had a friend who’s father hasn’t been found. When the radio was on, my great grandmother would close the doors, windows, and curtains. If they were caught listening to radio from the west they could be imprisoned or killed. Until the wall came down my mother couldn’t go back, she, her mother and father, and her little brother had all been painted as traitors. The inheritance to our family farm was shifted to my great aunt. We would have gotten 50%, now we have a few acres of forest. Speaking of the family farm, when the soviets came in, they destroyed the gate to the farm, took it, and by the time my great grandpa got it back, he was too old to work it, the buildings were in ruins, and there was nothing left. Those family members of hers, in prison for killing a communist, acted out of desperation. If you spoke out about the government, you disappeared. There is no freedom in communism.  I’m sick of all you white bitches trying to invalidate the lives of Cuban refugees because you have some delusional view of Castro and Che Guevara and value the idea of communism over black and brown lives send tweet Americans when Rush Limbaugh died: #rotinhellAmericans when Castro died: let’s not judge him. He probably did some good since communism is good. I am sick and tired of communism apologists and their banners on climate marches. -- source link
